I enjoyed the article on casting – in fact it was the best explaination I’ve read. I feel I might finally understand the process!

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your course, you are a patient generous and expert teacher. I felt encouraged and excited by the whole process. Your ‘talks’ were inspirational and educational.
The atmosphere was relaxed, the group was lovely

I still think about my visit to your area and your workshop! It was a fantastic experience, and I really feel I learnt a whole new way of working / looking! Will be back if at all possible.

Thank you once again for a truly inspiring course, and for looking after us so well.
Christine (May 2011)

Thank you for a marvellous four days. It was really great. Your organisation, food and especially your teaching skills were excellent, especially the latter. Difficult to get it right but you do.
The sculpturing was fantastic and just what I needed. As somebody who tends to rush, to have to spend time on small details was truely therapeutic. I was exhausted at the end of every day and slept like a log until this morning when I woke at three and began thinking of eyelids and lips!
John Franklin – May 2011

Hi Luke
Just a short note to thank you so much for your guidance and hospitality – the course was brilliant and I’m so happy to have been part of it.
You have as much talent for teaching as you do for sculpture and I’m guessing that’s pretty rare. Bet you’re glad we’ve gone tho’ !!

Many thanks for the excellent portrait course over the bank holiday weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and learned loads from you methods. It was great to be able to immerse myself into clay modelling again for four long wonderful days.

Firstly, I should have formally told you how inspiring the 4 day course in August was for me. I battled to make the time and justify spending the money on ‘me’ – and now I cannot believe that I nearly lost the opportunity! I was so excited when I came back and I keep smiling at my little picture of my bust of Aaron on my mobile. I could see that you were a brilliant artist/sculptor in your own right but the real test was – what would you be like as a teacher? As it was you were brilliant – it all made so much sense and became so ‘do-able’ (i.e. not too mathematical or complex in building the structure and using safe measurements.) I learnt so much and my passion – and confidence came back. Thank you so much.
Cathie Johnstone August 2011

Your course was amazing. Thank you so much. I came home head stuffed with information, spirits high, ready to let it all sink in and come out!!!! I have a horse portrait to do next week and I can’t wait to get going and try to take it all through. Although I’m feeling quite nervy about it too.
Good luck with your next courses…. wish I could come on them all!!
JS 2010

Just to say that having completed your portrait sculpting course its value to me is immense. Your many years of experience, command of the portrait sculpting process and teaching skill have made this unique course one where novices and existing practitioners have excelled. My only reservation is that I would have liked it to have lasted longer and that I cannot practically return soon for more of the same.
Best regards Ron Tilspn May 2009
